Results of Systemizing Stroke Care in Acute Endovascular Patients (P2.308)
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a streamlined routing and transfer process significantly shortened treatment times and decreased complications in our stroke patients. Our pre-established expedited triage, imaging, stroke physician expertise, and mechanical clot retrieval proficiency resulted in more favorable outcomes. With these changes, patients receive the most specialized endovascular care in a highly efficient manner.Disclosure: Dr. Hawkins has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martin has nothing to disclose.

Stroke physician vs stroke neurologist - can anyone thrombolyse ? (P6.011)
CONCLUSIONS:Due to the single centre, observational nature of this study, the equivalent outcomes between those thrombolysed by a stroke neurologist versus those thrombolysed by a stroke physician must be interpreted with caution pending further studies. Nevertheless, in the current setting, no signal for harm has been detected.Disclosure: Dr. Gaekwad has nothing to disclose. Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose. Dr. Bronca has nothing to disclose.

Improving Resident Performance in Acute Stroke Management Through Simulation Based Training (P5.152)
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation training is a welcome addition to traditional lecture based education with subjective and objective improvements in resident knowledge and confidence. Further study is needed to see if gains are maintained throughout the year and if patient outcomes are improved. Interdisciplinary simulation training with ER physicians and nurses may enhance teamwork during acute stroke codes.Disclosure: Dr. Johnsen has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic Stroke Related to Severe Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Adults May Benefit from Blood Transfusion (P01.232)
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of IDA is 1-20%; it is 3.9% in our AIS population and is often related to untreated uterine bleeding. As described in the pediatric population, severe IDA may be an underlying mechanism of ischemic stroke in adults, therefore, efforts must be undertaken to identify and treat the cause of the anemia. While patients with AIS and severe IDA may receive TPA, blood transfusion may be considered as an adjuvant therapy.Supported by: SPOTRIAS P50 NS044227 & NIH Training Grant 5T 32NS0077412-12.Disclosure: Dr. Choi has nothing to disclose.

Non-Neurologist Self Assessment of Emergency Neurology Proficiency and Interest in a Novel Intensive Stroke and Neurocritical Care Training Program: The X-CHANGE Program (P1.045)
Conclusions:Hospital based non-neurology physicians have significant exposure to critically ill neurological patients. Many are not comfortable with important fundamental skills, such as the neurological exam. There is strong interest in a proposed intensive training program emphasizing bedside teaching. Based upon these results, we are developing a formal intensive training program for practicing non -neurology physicians called the "Cross-disciplinary Cerebrovascular HospitAl NeuroloGy Education" program.Disclosure: Dr. Yee has nothing to disclose.

Large-scale identification of patients with cerebral aneurysms using natural language processing
Conclusions: We harnessed the power of the EMR by applying NLP to obtain a large cohort of patients with intracranial aneurysms and their matched controls. Such algorithms can be generalized to other diseases for epidemiologic and genetic studies.

Association between Leucocyte Count and Perihematomal Edema Growth After Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage (N8.001)
Conclusions:Higher admission leucocyte count, particularly monocyte count, is associated with PHE growth. This suggests a potential role of inflammation in modulating PHE after ICH.Study Supported by: American Academy of Neurology and American Brain Foundation Clinical Research Training FellowshipDisclosure: Dr. Gusdon has nothing to disclose.
